[a]list Video summit is now only just over a month away and already over 85 brands will be in attendance to get the full download on the video marketing boom. From mobile streaming apps to AR and VR, there’s a lot shifting in the landscape of video and there’s an urgent need for marketers to leverage new strategies and develop to stay on top.

Multiple keynotes from exciting innovators in the space have been confirmed including Facebook’s head of industry for film and television, Jonathan Murtaugh, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville, and beauty arbiter Michelle Phan.

“We are really excited to have Michelle Phan and Marcelo Camberos tell the story about how they leveraged the community she originally built on YouTube to build a business empire centered around ipsy. It’s a story that has not been revealed before and I think all marketers interested in Influencer Marketing will walk away from it smarter,” says [a]list summit producer and [a]listdaily executive director Jay Baage.

“This year we have also seen the emergence of Facebook as the first real competitor to rival YouTube in scale in terms of online video distribution, not to mention in terms of ad dollars. Jonathan Murtaugh, who leads Facebook’s team that works with entertainment marketers, will do a keynote that will give the audience a glimpse of what is in the future from his perspective that will have direct effect on all marketers in the room.”
